Job-specific drums.A planer needs to perform on as many different

applications and working widths as possible.

Therefore, BOMAG offers a choice of quick-change

milling drums for BOMAG compact planers to pro-

vide the right working width and spacing for every

construction site.

For repair work, the removal of asphalt strips, fine

milling work or trenches, cutting joints or milling

close to manhole covers and kerbs, BOMAG now

has the most innovative all-rounders in the compact

class.

... and for this sometimes the wheel needs to be reinvented! BOMAG‘s new milling drums are setting the pace in the modern planer world. After three years research BOMAG now offers a wide range of quick-change milling drums using a faster replacement system, innovative rotor geometry for pre-cise milling results, and new cutter supports for longer service life.

A planer needs to work and work... and work ...

The centring pin protects the thread of the milling housing door.

Fold the wheel forwards ...

... open the side door ...

...and the drum is easily accessed.

Quick trouble-free drum change. To maintain the highest output on site, a fast drum

changeover process is essential.

With the BOMAG compact planers this work have

been completely simplified. The planer is designed

so that re-assembly errors are eliminated. In this

case, for instance, hydraulic hoses and cables are

routed to the rear over the hinge of the milling

housing door. No dismantling, extra work, or tricky

procedures!

Clever detail simplifies changing the drum. Guides

on the gearbox allow quick location of drum

positions.

Then, a centring pin protects the thread of the

milling housing door from damage.

The special geometry of the edge cutter gives a smooth edge. Diagonal cutters protect the rotor around bends.

High quality production allows precise positioning.

Ultimate easy access for servicing and simple, fast knocking out of cutters from the rear speeds up maintenance.Extra rotor shell thickness for longer life.

BOMAG – precision performer.A planer needs complete accuracy. The milling rotor

features new geometry. Teeth are optimally arranged

for uniform, low vibration cutting. Due to its shell

thickness, the rotor behaves like a flywheel, trans-

ferring far fewer vibrations to the machine than a

conventional drum. This increases machine service

life significantly.

The new design of the edge cutter generates a

smooth edge with minimum damage. As a result,

ancillary work and costs to the contractor are

reduced.

Higher availability.New diagonal cutters protect the rotor when driving

around bends and prevent abrasion to the bracket at

the edges. Re-welding is no longer necessary, so this

means less downtime and lower repair bills.

Cutter supports specially developed by BOMAG

are mounted in milled pockets enabling them to

transfer power better, giving longer service life than

standard supports due to their precise positioning.

These cutters can be knocked out from the rear

quickly and easily. This boosts machine availability

and reduces unnecessary downtime – more time to

earn money planing.

Close control.

The digital milling depth display and the switch for the travel speed are in the operator‘s direct line of vision.

A planer needs to mill quickly without over-stressing components and without loss of accuracy. The best way to do this is by using variable settings and speeds, and an easily read display showing the exact depth of milling.

best surface quality. This also reduces wear on the

rotors.

At the same time, the forward speed is automatical-

ly maximised, meaning the milling machine moves

in relation to the selected cutting speed and planing

output.

The advantage is clear:

motor output is optimised and components are not

overloaded.

Depth control.

At the same time, a wear-resistant, digital display

shows the milling depth. There is also a calibration

button below the display to the left and right to set

the reading back to zero.

The height can be proportionally adjusted and

controlled using the two levers below the digital

display. In addition, rapid traverse is available for

greater distances and exact positioning of the

milling depth.

Speed and precision – increasing profitability on

site.

Manually adjustable – the best cutting speed for any application.

Variable cutting speeds and automatic maxi-misation of the planing rate.The BOMAG compact planers have three variable

cutting or milling speeds, which are easily set using

a switch on the control panel. This allows the best

speed to be selected for the job in order to give

Spraying can be controlled easily using two control switches.

The spray bar is easily accessed and ...

... can be removed without tools ...

Water spray.Easy water spray control from the central control

panel. Keeps the cutter cool during planing to boost

service life.

The water system is controlled by two switches.

With the left-hand switch automatic water-saving

is activated: water is only used when the machine

is actually planing.

The second switch to the right controls the spray

quantity and ensures that the right amount of water

is always available. Unnecessary water consump-

tion is prevented. The result: longer uninterrupted

operation on site, and less refilling.

... for fast servicing.

Servicing the water spray bar is also quick and

simple. The easy-access spray bar can be

removed and serviced without tools. Lower service

demands ensure less wear on the cutters.

Side plates to catch everything.The special design of the gearbox allows

the use of a straight and very robust side plate. The

straight shape prevents planed material build-up

next to the rotor – saving time and extra labour.

Retainers make the difference.The retainer has the same durable

and proven design used on our large planers. In

addition to compacting, they also have a lifting and

locking function, plus a float position.

The two solid guides can withstand impacts without

costly repair bills.

And on the solid hardened metal shoes, there is a

high visibility milling edge indicator that helps the

operator position the unit accurately.

A clean solution.

The best planers leave clean tracks on site – it‘s not just the surface which needs to be perfect. At the same time, there must be no material build-up and planings that mean manual reworking. This wastes time and can be avoided.

The straight side plate is durable and robust.

Accurate positioning with the milling edge indicator on the retainer. Hard-wearing metal shoes – for tough applications.

Optional – the split design scraper door.

Clear and easy to understand.

Adjustment and control from the driver‘s seat. The split design scraper door can also be controlled from the panel.

The scraper door; also available in optional split-design.The scraper door also has a floating, lifting, locking

and compaction function. The compaction function

can be conveniently adjusted from the driver’s seat;

the contact pressure can also be read from there.

To make different planing widths easy to use a split

design scraper door can also be fitted (optional).

Pure precision – the automatic levelling feature.Levelling with a rope sensor on the right side plate

makes planing easier and faster. With another rope

sensor on the left side plate and the cross-slope

controller, these compact planers are on par with

heavier duty machines. The self-explanatory display

shows both the milling depth and the slope angle.

The sensors can also be easily switched during

operations. In the process, the pre-selected settings

are retained.

Extra ground clearance with optimised gear housing.Hydraulics located close within the gear housing.

Precision work close to walls? No problem here.

Extra side clearance ensures less rework.Efficient work close to obstacles, such as manhole

covers, kerbs, lamp posts or walls is essential for a

mobile and flexible compact planer. Every centime-

tre counts and re-work such as manual attention to

edges is extremely costly.

This is why hydraulic hoses have been installed flat

and abrasion-free within the contours of the BOMAG

machines.

The optimised gear housing provides high ground

clearance for work close up to the kerb. And that

is one or two centimetres less manual work than

usual!

The compact planers have a high power conveyor

belt that can swivel left to right. Planings are col-

lected safely and without loss and conveyed to the

discharger by the conveyor belt. The belt speed can

be adjusted for full and even loading of the largest

trucks without difficulty. This is important as chang-

ing a truck slows down work and adds additional

costs.

High speed adjustment.The conveyor belt can be disconnected and recon-

nected quickly in confined areas. This is a special

feature on the planers – and can be performed

single-handed in two to three minutes.

The innovative design of the control cylinder on the

conveyor belt means only very light components

need to be lifted manually and does not affect the

rear of the milling machine.

The third advantage of the locking cylinder: The

entire belt can be moved from the upper position to

the lowest position in one go. The chains do not

need to be rehung as on standard planers.

Speed is the winning factor: the conveyor belt can be

reconnected in record time.

Loading planed material quickly.

Planers need to be able to load materials quickly regardless of how tall or low a truck is, whether it is directly behind the milling machine or to the right or left. And in tight spaces the loading belt needs to be disconnected and reconnected quickly. Performance and speed are key.

Safe, simple attachment of the chain – single-handed!

Straight from the upper to the lowest position with no rehanging ofthe chain – and all from a relaxed seated position.

No control cylinder to affect the rear of the planer.

On BOMAG‘s compact models the operator can

remain seated – conveniently, comfortably, safely

and with no health risks due to posture, or long-term

stresses caused by vibration. This is because the

workplace, including all operating controls, is fully

insulated from vibration.

All functions are reached from the seating position

and the 45 degree swivel seat provides an optimum

view to the loading truck on one side and the edge

on the other.

An experienced operator can work with the

machine after just 5 minutes instruction with an

operating concept that is easy to understand and

self-explanatory. And the user-friendly control

panel contains comprehensive operating aids.

These include automatic functions, such as

the water-saving mode

the load limit control and

traction control.

The driver can concentrate totally on the job the

whole time without fatigue. Simple operation cuts

out operating errors, for better quality and speed

of work.

BOMAG‘s new generation of compact planers meets

the specifications of the German employers‘ liability

insurance association in terms of lower trigger points

for LPA sound pressure level at the driver‘s ear. This

is a quantum leap in operator safety. Twenty BOMAG

compact planers generate less noise pollution than

one standard compact planer!

To achieve these new safety standards the engine is

fitted with vibration-reducing balancer shafts and is

isolated from the frame by the engine mounts. This

greatly reduces noise and vibration from the frame,

thus increasing machine service life. Next the opera-

tor workplace is protected from noise by special

insulation. Cooling air and exhaust fumes are vented

to the left hand side, away from the operator.

Finally, a controlled fan is used. This ensures that

these BOMAG planers can consistently deliver top

performance at an ambient temperature of 45 °C. If

the ambient temperature is lower or the planer needs

less cooling because of idling periods, noise levels

will decrease exponentially. Also, diesel consumption

is lower, or increased planing output is available.

Ear protection is no longer mandatory.

Active BOMAG operator protection increases planing performance – clever technology makes it possible.

Sound insulation and intelligent air duct.

Operating costs are cut and performance is boosted.

Storage for the operator‘s personal items ...

Always at the ready ...The large, optional weather protection roof ensures

that the machine and operator are always ready for

work. It can be shifted easily from a seated position,

and height can be adjusted without interruption to

work. So, the roof protects the operator, and brings

maximum flexibility even under the most confined

site conditions.

For night work, the planer continues to show its

flexibility. Ample 24 V sockets for additional

headlights means the work area site is well lit.

... we‘ve forgotten nothing!An additional 12 V connection for the driver, e.g. for

a mobile phone or cool bag.

Generous well thought out storage spaces and

facilities for drinks, manuals and much more

including the heavy toolbox and cutter bin located

near ground level. If more space is needed there

is another large storage compartment above the

engine compartment.

Higher comfort and a clear workplace: the well

thought out health and safety approach for the

operator.

The large, optional weather protection roof is height adjusted from the seated position with no interruption to work.

And the roof can be easily shifted laterally, ideal for confined siteconditions.

Service and maintenance: plain easy.

These BOMAG compact planers also feature lower servicing and maintenance due to smart fine-details and the EasyService concept.

All maintenance points are easily accessed through the wide openingengine hood on one side.

The planer fuel filler is located on the same side as the truck‘s filler. No inconvenient manoeuvres at the fuel station again.

With a large, wide opening engine hood, all main-

tenance points on the compact planer are easily

accessed on the right side of the machine. Daily

maintenance is lightening fast and easy with the

EasyService concept which extends efficient service

life.

The operator can see the hydraulic oil level as he

climbs the steps to the operator‘s platform. The

indicator is also protected from damage by the

machine‘s contours.

The air intake for the engine enters from above,

ensuring that only the cleanest air is used. This pro-

vides long maintenance intervals for the cooler and

air filter. The water filler can be accessed from both

sides of the machine increasing flexibility on site.

Refuelling and loading – also not a problem.

On these models the high quality, rust-protected

diesel tank is mounted on anti-vibration bearings

separate from the frame. This means no more rust

and cracks in the tank.

As planers are usually reverse loaded for transport,

BOMAG has mounted the fuel filler neck on the left

hand side. So, at the filling station the opening is on

the same side as the truck‘s.

Users throughout the world trust the BOMAG name. The company has been part of the FAYAT Group since 2005. BOMAG has six branches in Germany, eleven independent subsidiary companies and four production units across the globe. More than 500 dealers in over 120 countries provide global distribution and service for BOMAG products.
